Partial naval plate ID help

[Patriot Relics]

Hey guys, dug a stamped brass partial I'm looking to ID. Anyone recognize this plate?

It is often helpful to show the back of a brass plate fragment, so we ID-helpers can know whether its construction is simple stamped sheetbrass, or solder-filled sheetbrass, or solid-cast brass. Which is it?

Since nobody else has answered your request, on your behalf I plowed through the entire section on US Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, etc, in the "American Military Belt Plates" book by O'Donnell & Campbell. There seems to be no match there for your find. The only plate which has a wreath's leaves below the anchor is a thick solid-cast brass plate, made for use by the US Revenue Cutter Service from 1890 to 1915. But as I indicated above, it's not an exact match.

Thanks cannonballguy, it's thin stamped sheet brass. Not much to discern from the back

Thinking it's royal British navy based on the anchor styling... Here's one with a date reference as Georgian.
